We came to that conclusion too and originally had the silhouette of a bed rather than the exterior or a hotel building[1]. Our client[2], however, had different ideas.

And no, I have no idea why flight plus hotel equals desert island with palm trees...

The island photo is pretty synonymous with package holiday in the UK, which flight + hotel approximates in this case.

It means "package vacation" which for lots of people means "Caribbean island and it doesn't really matter which one."
